Maker of a jet-propelled pogo stick (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acme

(Other definitions for acme that I've seen before include "Top or highest point" , "crisis in history" , "Point of maximum development" , "Zenith - optimum" , "Height of excellence" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
